The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine
Chapter 70: Promotion to a higher position
During this period, Wen Liuli would check on the patients' conditions every day and confirm whether there were any new infections.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. After the last infected person recovered completely and there were no new cases of infection in the city, Qingping County finally opened the city gates after a long absence.
It is worth mentioning that after being infected, Qingping County Magistrate Lin Xiangzhao recovered in less than seven days after being treated by Wen Liuli.
However, Wen Liuli was a little worried that he was still carrying the virus, so she didn't let him return to the city. Only after the city was completely reopened did Lin Xiangzhao return to his home.
"Your Highness, I bow to thank you for saving my life!"
When he saw Tang Tianyu and others again, Lin Xiangzhao knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to the ground.
"Master Lin, there is no need to be so polite."
Tang Tianyu and Wen Liuli smiled at each other when they saw this. He was lucky enough, at least he was not dead.
According to Tang Tianling's statistics, including Wangjia Village, more than 400 people were infected this time, but only less than 100 people survived in the end, and the rest died from the epidemic.
Tang Tianyu and others also sighed sincerely about this. After all, it was because they discovered it too late that the Wangjia Village tragedy occurred.
At the same time as the ban on Qingping County was lifted, Lin Xiangzhao stood on the city wall and told his fellow villagers exactly what had happened.
After learning that the plague outside the city was actually the Black Death, people in the city felt like they had survived a disaster.
They were feeling lucky that Wu Che and Tang Tianyu had stopped them at the city gate and did not let them go out. Otherwise, no one knew whether they would be the next to be infected, and whether they would end up like the people in Wangjia Village, with no corpse left after death.
For a moment, the people in the city knelt on the ground, thanking the court for giving them the chance to live, and also thanking Tang Tianyu, Wen Liuli and others for their efforts.
"I heard that the princess collapsed from exhaustion while trying to save people. I wonder how she is doing now?"
"Yes, the princess is really a kind person."
"The man in white under the city wall turned out to be the legendary His Majesty the King of Martial Arts. Oh my god, I am so lucky to have met His Majesty the King of Martial Arts!"
"Where are your highness and the princess now?"
After Lin Xiangzhao informed the villagers of the whole incident, they also became concerned about the whereabouts of Wen Liuli and Tang Tianyu.
These two people saved the people of the entire city, but now even their shadows have not been seen.
But they didn't know that long after Tang Tianling withdrew his troops, Tang Tianyu and Wen Liuli followed the large group back to Donghuang City.
The large group of over 3,000 people came here, but after half a month of hard fighting, the army that Tang Tianling led out of the imperial city was only a dozen people short when they returned.
Most of these dozen people were killed by Liu Hufa and others in the last Liu Hufa incident.
In addition, some died from the plague.
Overall, the epidemic did not cause much damage.
After returning to the imperial city, Tang Tianyu and others went back to the palace first to report, and told Tang Zhentian the whole incident.
Before, due to the existence of plague bacteria in Qingping County, they did not dare to send a message to Tang Zhentian rashly, so Tang Zhentian only knew now that so many things had happened.
"I understand. King Wen and King Wu have made great contributions to the fight against the epidemic. I will definitely reward you well. Tell me, is there anything you want?"
Now that the matter is over, it is naturally time to reward people based on their merits. Tang Zhentian looked at the two brothers in front of him and said with a smile.
"My father, it is my duty as a member of the royal family to share the worries of the people of the world. I dare not take credit for it."
In response, Tang Tianling and Tang Tianyu smiled at each other. Why did they need any reward? They were not ordinary people, and they could be promoted to higher positions. They only needed those yellow and white things, which they did not lack.
Especially Tang Tianyu. Apart from Wen Liuli, he is not interested in anything, including the supreme position.
"Good! You are worthy of being my son. You are not arrogant for taking credit for your achievements. Since you don't want to say anything, I will make the decision myself."
"King Wen and King Wu listen to your orders!"
"My son, I accept the order!"
The two were stunned at first when they heard this, and then knelt in front of Tang Zhentian.
"King Wen and King Wu have made great contributions to the fight against the epidemic and saved the people of Qingping from disaster. I will give you two a hundred taels of gold and a hundred rolls of silk..."
All I heard was Tang Zhentian mumbling a lot of things, all of which were gold, silver, jewelry, silk jewelry and the like.
The two were naturally happy to see this. Although they didn't particularly need these things, who would complain about having too much?
"Father, I have something else to report to you."
"Oh? Say it!"
Hearing Tang Tianyu speak, Tang Zhentian raised his eyebrows. This kid actually speaks to me?
Just now, Tang Tianling was the only one doing the report on Qingping County's work. Tang Tianyu looked as if it had nothing to do with him. How come you spoke up after the report was finished?
"Qingping County Magistrate Lin Xiangzhao is an honest official. Before my son and my wife arrived in Qingping, he had been close to the field and stood at the forefront of the epidemic prevention."
"It was because of his wise actions that the damage caused by the Black Death was minimized. He has made an indelible contribution to the whole thing."
"And he was unfortunately infected with the Black Death due to prolonged contact with patients. During this period, I promised him a future."
"Oh? Is this happening?"
Hearing Tang Tianyu's words, Tang Zhentian's eyes lit up. You know, there are not many good officials like him in the court.
A senior official who can rush to the front line of epidemic prevention without fear of death must have good abilities.
So, after listening to Tang Tianyu's words, Tang Zhentian immediately issued an edict.
Lin Xiangzhao, the former magistrate of Qingping County, was an honest official and had made contributions to epidemic prevention, so he was specially appointed as the third-rank censor-in-chief...
When they heard the words "Chief Censor", Tang Tianyu and Tang Tianling were both stunned.
An official of the third rank was not a lowly position. The Censorate was a department for the imperial court to investigate corrupt officials, and the highest-ranking official in the Censorate was the Grand Censor, followed by the Chief Censor.
Originally, Lin Xiangzhao was only a ninth-rank county magistrate, and Tang Zhentian's reward was a great achievement for him.
Of course, if it was just a reward based on merit, Tang Zhentian would never have given him such a high position.
The main reason is that Tang Zhentian believes in Tang Tianyu. People who can be recommended by Tang Tianyu should not have problems with character and ability.
If we talk about the person in the royal family that Tang Zhentian trusts the most, besides Tang Zonglun, it is his own fifth son. Because he has no idea about the throne, what bad intentions can he have?
After talking about Lin Xiangzhao, Tang Zhentian turned his gaze to Wen Liuli.
"Ali girl, is there anything you want?"
"I?"
Hearing this, Wen Liuli was immediately startled. Didn't he already reward Lao Bai? Why did he reward me again?
"Well, you have made the greatest contribution in this matter, so naturally I will reward you."
"Um... I don't need it, right? Your Majesty, you have already rewarded my prince."
"One yard owned by a yard."
"Okay, then Your Majesty, can you give me a piece of land and some building materials?"
"Ok?"
As soon as Wen Liuli said this, everyone present looked at her with doubt.
It’s understandable that they want to be granted land, but what the hell is this about asking for building materials?
Could it be that she wants to build a house?
"Is that all you want?"
"Yes. These are all I want."
"Well, there is a Wujun Mountain outside the Imperial City, and I will give it to you as a reward. If you need building materials, just go to the Ministry of Works to get them."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hearing Tang Zhentian agree so readily, a golden light flashed in Wen Liuli's eyes.
Originally, she just wanted to have about ten acres of land and build a house there, so that her family could come over for a vacation or something.
Unexpectedly, Tang Zhentian waved his hand and gave her a mountain.
She knew about Wujun Mountain, which was just a dozen miles outside the imperial city. The mountain was not big, but definitely not small, covering an area of more than a hundred acres.
This was more than enough for Wen Liuli. Besides, she also had the building materials. From what the emperor said, she could take any building materials from the Ministry of Works.
For a moment, an idea came to her mind to turn Wujun Mountain into a private manor.
However, even though we now have the materials and land, we still need to spend some money on manpower. Although Tang Zhentian has given a lot of rewards, it is still a drop in the bucket for building a manor.
Don't be fooled by what he said about a hundred taels of gold. In fact, it would be good if he could get twenty or thirty taels. He would round it up to the maximum. The emperor also wanted to save face.
Otherwise, no matter how rich the royal family is, they cannot afford to be rewarded this and that all the time.
During the following period of time, Wen Liuli locked himself in Liuli Garden, and spent the whole day fiddling with those papers.
Seeing her aunt acting so strangely, Tang Zhiqian couldn't help but step forward to ask. The only answer she got was: I'm drawing a blueprint.
Yes, she was drawing the blueprints for the construction plan of Wujun Mountain.
To turn Wujun Mountain into a private manor, the manpower and material resources required would undoubtedly be enormous. Before that, she had already visited the Ministry of Industry and found that the building materials there were enough for her to buy. Mainly, Tang Zhentian had given the order before, saying that she could use them at will, so she naturally would not be polite.
In order to draw the blueprints for her, Tang Tianyu even ordered someone to find her some slate pencils. There was no other way, as she could not use the broken brush at all.
Fortunately, his parents were in the engineering business, and Wen Liuli grew up looking at all kinds of design drawings, so he was very good at drawing.
On the other side, when Tang Zhentian's imperial edict reached Qingping County, Lin Xiangzhao's family was so excited that they almost jumped up.
Tang Tianyu once promised him a future, but Lin Xiangzhao just took it as a polite remark. After all, he is a prince, so how could he care about the life and death of a small county magistrate like you?
But now, not only was he promoted, he also rose to the rank of third-rank Chief Censor, which made Lin Xiangzhao a little flattered.
As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future. He never thought that after serving as a county magistrate for so many years, he would be promoted to a higher position one day.
